Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming created by Guido van Rossum. Python source code is available under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code and making it the perfect language for someone trying to learn computer programming for the first time.

Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional and procedural, and has a large and comprehensive standard library.

History of Python

Python was developed in the late 1980s, and its implementation began in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands.

Python is derived from many other languages ABC, Modula-3, C, C++, Algol-68, SmallTalk, and Unix shell and other scripting languages.
